Damn, I guess I am one of the unlucky people that didn't get those texts, I am at over 4 hours now
Guess I will have to try the 2G iPhone method.
About to give this a try. Hope it works out!
Well, it didn't work. It was going great until I asked for the $30 Unlimited Package. She said it could be added to my Nokia GoPhone, and then she asked to take my SIM card out (from my iPhone) to and put it in my Nokia phone. This was a test to make sure the service worked. After that, she asked if I was using a new SIM card. Later, she added back features that were taken off of the iPhone.
Did I do anything wrong?

My CS rep did the same thing. I just told her i do not want her to call and i will call back if the switch didnt work. She said she gonna try call anyways. SO after i hung up i switch my iph4 to airplane mode so i dont get any calls at all for about 10 mins.
Then i made a call to my buddy and i got the texts/emails in 1hr50mins after.
Remember to mention u have a sim card adapter to make it work.
Still not workin for ya?
Nope. Logged into my account, and it shows the nonsmart phone plan, but i haven't received a text or anything on my iphone. Its saying my data and messaging are "prorated" whatever that means lol. But I did the exact steps, its still showing I use a iphone 4 on att account page.
Worked perfectly for me. Thanks for posting this!
Wanted unlimited but didn't want the hassle/expense of getting an old iphone and extra sims. I had an old dumbphone lying around (motorola) and followed the steps exactly.
The first person I talked to was confused, and said there was no 30.00 plan. So I hung up and called back. No problems with the second rep. He read some disclaimer about the sim not working with the adapter and told me that if I tried to use the sim with the Iphone again an appropriate data plan would be automatically added (that's what I am counting on!).
It took about 2 hours to get the messages but got them both. I also got the email below. In addition to the unlimited data they added the 20.00 unlimited text messaging to my plan. I went into my account online and deleted that. So if you don't want to pay 20.00 for unlimited texting...make sure to cancel that service.
